The Vegas Golden Knights fought back to make this series 2-1 against the Oilers, and now, they've got some good injury news on some key players.
After going down 2-0 at home this series, the Golden Knights won a dramatic Game 3 to bring this series close, and they've done so despite fighting injuries to some of their most important players.
Coming into the series, there were question marks over the likes of Pavel Dorofeyev and Alex Pietrangelo, and through three games there have been more bumps and bruises, with seemingly every team fighting injuries at this time of year.
Now, the team have confirmed good news ahead of Game 4, while also revealing an intriguing lineup shift, with both Jack Eichel and Mark Stone good to go, as the teams two biggest stars will now be on the same line moving forward.

After playing 15 minutes in his return game, Pavel Dorofeyev got through without issue, so he will remain in the lineup, but it's Stone that was most worrying, as Head Coach Bruce Cassidy revealed after Game 3 that there were concerns about the captain.
Despite the victory in Game 3, the Edmonton Oilers are still in the drivers seat in this series with a 2-1 lead, and with two of the next four games set to take place on their home ice, they remain full of confidence that they can finish off this series and head onto yet another Western Conference Finals.
Ultimately, if the Oilers are to take down the Golden Knights, they're going to have to beat a fully healthy team after Vegas got some great news, so expect Game 4 to be yet another hard fought thriller of a series.
